They're also vulnerable in regards to oil/gas

And every time no one fired

The USA was the one that pushed for involvement. @Jym

Europe was fine to just sit back and let it happen.

I really don’t think Nuclear weapons will ever be used unless there is a dead hand in place or an algorithm is in control of them... but I repeat myself

That's why china's siezing up various ports & claiming the south china sea

"ISIS" Remember when America caused the creation of ISIS?

There's oil there as well

"ally" Remember when America helped create the Argentina military Junta and then left Britain to defend itself

Chile offered them more support.

Remember when America said Sadam had weapons of mass destruction?

Great ally then.

America didn't actually say that

Stop thinking America is the shining light of goodness. It's not @Jym

@Nathan James 123 Reagan also offered Thatcher a USN Carrier group during the Falklands too though

Also stop thinking your allies are weak

They're not.

Relatively speaking, they are

If the UK lost it's carrier @Sawyer42

So after thousands were dead.

True

Anyway I’m back

I might go soon

The USA didn't put any sanctions on the Argies

Europeans did.

But yeah Russia isn’t as powerful as people make them out to be

Oh yeah I forgot when not proving themselves incompetent our "allies" just complain that our military might be used for something other than their problems. And now? Now you are complaining that we might want to fuck off and let you settle your own problems.

Afaik Thatcher _wanted_ to go it alone, to show the world that the UK still got it.

a good move IMO

"settle your own problems." You created these problems @Jym

Try harder.

China is much more of a threat and we should stop fighting constant wars to keep other nations down

and the US did offer help with Falclands

but Thatcher refused for that reason

If thousands of people died and a carrier was lost

THEN

They would help.

Yes.

@Nathan James 123 is right

I don’t give a fuck if America caused the problems in the Middle East, AMERICA CANT FIX THOSE PROBLEMS

but also Monroe Doctrine was still in effect then
